Best Fun Restaurants in Mejiro

I had a ten hour connection in Tokyo so I went into the city for sushi. Takaya was a terrific choice. Delicious fresh fish combined with a friendly relaxed attitude. I was a bit apprehensive about dining alone, but the chef made me feel welcome, and I had fun chatting with him. Tip: the seats at the far right side of the counter have a direct view of the chef preparing sushi, which was fascinating.

My number one sushi experience in the whole world. Tremendous care and thought went into the preparation of every ingredient and the entire experience. I shan't share any spoilers here. Enjoy!

A very enjoyable and memorable experience with friends. The food was very good and the service was friendly and easy going. The full course menus are very filling. Value for the many was very good compared to many other major cities outside of Japan with the same type of food offering. I would recommend this place for small group gatherings.

Was so great to return to Fukuzushi after not being back in Japan since 2019. While they’ve moved to a newer and smaller location, felt it was more intimate than years past, and the quality of sushi, friendliness of chef and his wife, made it so welcoming and familiar again. Reminded me why I used to frequent the restaurant years ago. Looking forward to returning again in my future trips to Tokyo.

We visited Sougo on our first night in Tokyo. We had heard it was excellent, and it truly surpassed all our expectations. The ambience, the quality and favor profile of the food, the drinks, the attention to every small detail, the service, the extremely welcoming staff and chef: everything was perfection. The value for money for the quality you get is amazing! We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend dining there while in Tokyo!
